Tacoma broken leaf spring
I have a 97 Tacoma 4x4 V6 ext cab with a broken leaf spring, there are 3 normal springs and one overload spring. The bottom spring broke. I called the junkyard and they want $150 for the whole spring assembly. To have one spring made it's $140. I notice Downey/Performance Products have add-a-leafs for $45. could I remove the lower spring and install this. Or maybe buy two new springs, I see Old Man Emu has a set for $350, but it looks like they are 98' and newer. I primarily drive this on the street and don't want big tires, a small lift would be okay, preferable less than 1 1/2" Are there any other options out there??????

I don't think it would be too safe only having two working leaf springs... I'm thinking I may just buy an add-a-leaf to replace the lower springs and hope it doesn't lift the rear end too much...
